UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of Arl6IP1KK109154 under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS leads to adults that show a progressive decrease in climbing ability. In third instar larvae, axon bundles of long motor neurons (i.e. targeting A7) display an increased number of lipid droplets.
Larval motor neurons expressing Arl6IP1KK109154 under the control of Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6 show longer mitochondria in posterior axon bundles and reduced mitochondrial load in terminal boutons within posterior neuromuscular junctions.
Larvae and adults expressing Arl6IP1GD3027 under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS show decreased crawling and climbing activity, respectively.
Expression of Arl6IP1KK109154 under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS results in a more rapid age-progressive decline in climbing abilities of adult flies as well as defects in larval crawling without significantly affecting their adult lifespan. Expression under the Scer\GAL4da.G32 driver does not significantly change the number or the type composition of synaptic boutons on neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) in third instar larval muscles, but disrupts the smooth endoplasmic reticulum network morphology (assessed by a marker expression pattern) in the terminal synaptic boutons at the ends of both shorter anterior motor neuron axons (synapsing at segment 3) and longer posterior axons (synapsing at segment 7).
Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6-controlled expression does not lead to any gross defects in axonal transport, but mitochondria in the distal portions of longer posterior axons are significantly elongated compared to controls, whereas the mitochondrial morphology in the distal portions of shorter anterior axons is normal.

Expression of Arl6IP1KK109154 leads to abnormal elongated mitochondrial morphology in the distal portions of the longer posterior motor neuron axons (synapsing at segment 7) in third instar larvae (with the Scer\GAL4RapGAP1-OK6 driver) as well as age-progressive climbing ability defects in adults (with the Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS driver) and both these phenotypes are significantly suppressed by co-expression of Drp1Scer\UAS.cDb (without compromising adult lifespan).
However, the disruption of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum network (assessed by a marker expression pattern) in the terminal synaptic boutons at the neuromuscular junctions of both anterior and posterior motor neurons observed in third instar larvae expressing either Arl6IP1KK109154 or Drp1Scer\UAS.cDb alone under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 is not significantly changed when the two transgenes are co-expressed.
